    Don’t forget Putin bravely defending himself against western imperialism by invading neighboring nations, and how he must secretly be a communist no matter how much of the country he has privatized and sold off to his cronies.

      I’ll never understand why tankies defend a colonial imperialist oligarchy like Russia when it has nothing to do with socialism/communism.

        Because the vast majority are just as stupid as the libertarians. They don’t actually know what socialism or even communism is. They just know they were told that capitalism is bad (and… it mostly is) and that if they support this revolution they’ll get everything they want.

        Its why so many are hellbent on accelerationism. They think that they’ll become warlords during the civil war and get exactly what they want.
